Just some rear-end info for you guys-
Things have been extremely busy here as I have multiple projects all going on at once. Between work, doin a 305/385 motor swap with a friend in his Monte, working on my Jeep(s) and DD, the Camaro has taken a back seat the last couple months.
I finally finished fitting up the rear end. It was a pain and there are still a couple things to put in but its in there.
In addition to the Moser 9", there are Edelbrock LCA's and Panhard bar to hold it in place along with a MAC tunnel mount torque arm to keep it from twisting. Just so that everyone know, Moser didn't design their rear to go with the MAC. After a lot of grinding and 'massaging with a 16oz hammer' I got the arm to mount to the rear-end. However, because everything is so much bigger the tunnel needed modifying to get it to work. By this I mean cutting off the tail of the seat-belt bolt and pushing the tunnel in almost two inches. If you are afraid of doing a little beating under your car, then don't go with this combo. The companies claim bolt-in rear-ends but I bet that is only with stock parts, and if you are in need of a stronger rear-end chances are you have already upgraded the suspension. Modifying parts isn't for everyone, but if you want one on the strongest combo's out there then its for you.
I'll get pics up of the rear sitting pretty in the rear soon along with the new fuel system pics so far. Be aware, some of you might cringe when you see what I did to get the fuel to the front of the car.
